IN another column of this paper appears in full the decision of the Supreme Court on the county seat case. The decision is an important one Tn many respects to the people of thls county
 It involves not only the location of the county seat, but, also, forever settles the validity of the proceed ings of the last November term of our circuit court, about which grave doubts had arisen in the minds of the bar and people, in consequence of the court not opening until the third day of the term.
 There is nothing, perhaps, that ap- peaIs so strongly to the prejudices of the people as the agitation of the question of removal and location of county seats. The issues are al ways local and selfishness IS more or less dominant. The great princi- ples upon which men commonly di vide-pohtical tenets and principles center not into a contest of this kind, but self interest and conven. fence is the highest aim.
 Old friends in politics, who have always gone abreast in political con tests, part company for the time, and divide up on these local questions according to interest, and they join hands at the polls with men with whom, upon all other questions, they have always differed This is an order of things by no means deslra- ble, and the sooner It reaches an end the better, but the end cannot be reached until che cause for litigation ceases.
 By the decision of the supreme court the end is attained and the cause for agitation and local divls ion of our people is forever removed.
 The decision is pronounced and decisive on every point involved in the case. Under it there is nothing left to surmise or anything that needs interpretation. It comes di- rect to the point and renders the fur ther agitation of the question by means of litigation in the courts i'm possible. In short, it decides that Russellvillo is the county seat of Pope county.
 The county seat has been voted here by the people, and it has been iudicially determined that the will of the people upon that question was expressed in due form of law.
 Every good citizen ought to be satisfied with the result. Certainly the will of the people in due form expressed should be the will of every citizen. The great principle that underlies all our republican in. tltutions is the majority rule. Ad- herring to this first principle let us all proclaim with one voice RUSSELL WILLIE IS THE COUNTY SEAT OF PoPE CoUNTY
 On last Monday night the bonds men held a meeting and appointed working committees and took all the initiatory steps necessary to the erection of the courthouse.
 Let us not cherish animosities, but let us draw our coats and all join hands in any effort to build up a prosperous and happy people in county loved by and common to us all.
